CCR Thoughts (1 out of 4)

     Okay so, a bit early for this type of thinking, but I have literally nothing else to post right now. You may be questioning, "Don't you have a project to post about?" Yes, I do. It just so happens that I messed myself up last post and a bunch of things were pushed back because of it. So, my schedule should have saved this for last, but no. You are going to be getting a hearty production blog post on Saturday and an editing post of Sunday. I would have saved this CCR for Sunday, but timelines are not time aligning.
 
    Back on track, what am I thinking about for CCR things? Well, one needs to know what the question is. Just so happens to be that the first question is "How does a product challenge conventions and social issues?". Also, CCR stands for Creative Critical Reflection, which I did not know until my boss told me. We do have to keep in mind that some may not challenge, and why it may be like that. I did have a meeting with my boss a while back about these questions, so here be me pulling from my handy dandy notebook.
    Some things to think about when creating a CCR: 
                                                ---Must talk about your genre (teen/coming of age)
                                                ---Which genre conventions are shown? (identity crisis/teenage                                                                                                 experiences/conformity/interpersonal conflict)
                                                ---Which are (not) challenged and why?  (Stereotypical family--separated parents or a normal type of tension between teens and parents-instead this is opening introduction is about a family casting aside their family member. I would not show drugs in my film, because many children are not at high risk for substance abuse is they are not exposed family members. I am not filming in a high school, so cliques are not needed.)
                                                ---CCR videos' examples can come straight from the blog or opening                                                             introduction. (YEAH BABY! NO NEED FOR EXTENSIVE                                                                           RESEARCH! WOOOOO!)

    Now, you did just read a good majority of text, but that pretty much summarizes the questions I have to think about and my shortened answers for them. But what about ideas for what my videos would actually be about? So, I have a couple. Here is the thing, I am not allowed to do any get ready with me types of CCRs or muck bangs--incessant eating while answering questions--type of CCRs. Which is overall fine with me, I was not trying to do a CCR about me packing up to leave for a trip nor do I want you to see me eating.

                        1.) A jeopardy style video but it is only one person that looks like they are constantly switching in and out of clothes to act out the different contestants. 

                        2) A weather broadcast that was interrupted by an arrogant--maybe whimsical--villain broadcasting about this opening introduction. May or may not act as if this opening introduction is their life before they became a villain. (I may or may not like hero styled types of media....) 

    Yep, this is it. For now, at least, I will probably add more to my ideas list about what I should be doing my video about. I actually really like the villain idea. I could build upon that idea more. But anyways, this is it for my current ideas sweeping the topic of CCR question 1 off the list. Be back for more CCR related ideas right after the finishing of my show. Have a good day/evening/night, dear customer!

Done, finally!

      Thus, lies here, my last shred of sanity to give. And welcome, the three new contestants for media production. (They would not get far...
